Mommy makeover at our Louisville practice is an increasingly popular procedure that can help women look and feel more like they did prior to their pregnancies.

I have seen an increased interest in labiaplasty to improve the appearance and comfort of the vaginal area in my cosmetic surgery practice. In my previous blog I discussed the basic labial reduction surgery where the large labia minora is reduced in size in a natural way. Women have been extremely happy with their results. I currently offer other procedures to improve the appearance of the vaginal area.

I have made some modifications in my labiaplasty procedure. Despite wide reduction of the labia minora, the outer edge still can have some redundant tissue. I currently simply resect the redundant labia tissue at the edge and scars are not seen. I have also made the entrance of the vagina appear more natural by maintain the existing sling like structure.

I recently published an article in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal titled ‘Posterior Wedge Resection: A More Aesthetic Labiaplasty.’ Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the vaginal area typically the labia minora. The hyperplastic labia minora can often cause physical discomfort with exercise or sexual intercourse. Other women seeking cosmetic genital surgery often complain of the appearance of the vaginal area even in clothing. By reducing the size of the labia minora, labiaplasty can help to improve the appearance and reduce discomfort associated with activity.
